What are some of the bugs in Firebird? What is the one bug that you
consider to be a "show stopper"?

I would like to use the "lean and mean" Firebird rather than the
bloated and slow Mozilla. I have been skeptical because the Firebird
0.6 zip file is 17.1 Megabytes and the Mozilla 1.5b zip file is a
whopping 15.1 Megabytes. So even with fewer "features" Firebird is
bigger ? I think the programmers are as effective in cutting code as
California politicians are in cutting spending. :)

Actually, I guess that since Firebird has more code - - we should
expect it to have more bugs.

Just my $0.02.
